A hackle gauge is just the thing for tying perfect dry flies. The auxiliary tool is used by beginners as well as professionals at the tying table, because there is no easier way to find out which of the hackles in the saddle fits perfectly to the already started fly. Everyone is familiar with the image of a dry fly that is finished, but the head hackle seems too large or much too small. This is not only to the detriment of the silhouette, but also a shame for the wasted labor and material used. With Whiting's Hackle Gauge, this won't happen so quickly. Simply place the feather around the head nail in the middle so that the fibers of the feather stand up. With the help of the scale you can see directly for which hook size the taught feather is best suited, and that before you tear it out of the saddle. One, two feathers taught and you have already found the right feather for his dry fly - simple, ingenious and always accurate!
The gauge is made in the USA and is made of lightweight anodized aluminum, making it sturdy and high quality. The scale where you read off the perfect feather size/hook combination has been laser cut, so nothing can smudge or wear on the gauge and it will remain a help at the tying table for a lifetime.
